Nebraska Soccer Field

The home of the Huskers, the Nebraska Soccer Field and its surrounding
facilities provide NU players with every tool needed to be successful. Since
moving on campus for the first time in school history in 2005, the Huskers have
played the past nine seasons on the field, which is located off the northeast
corner of Memorial Stadium. Nebraska has won nearly 75 percent of its games at
the Nebraska Soccer Field. The Huskers are 63-24-12 at home over the past nine
seasons, including an impressive combined record of 34-13-4 over the past five
seasons. The facilities features seating for at least 3,500.

Amenities such as sideline seating that give fans an up-close view of the
action mere feet from the sidelines, a new video screen/scoreboard and
conveniently located concessions and restrooms add to the atmosphere, along
with a brilliant red 'N' emblazoned across the center circle in
the middle of the field.

The Nebraska Soccer Field offers a truly unique setting unlike any other in
the nation. Its proximity to the Huskers' locker rooms and meeting rooms, as
well as the strength and athletic medicine facilities makes Nebraska's newest
facilities not only the most unique, but the most functional
and convenient as well.

Training Facilities

Located directly next to the Nebraska Soccer Field, the Hawks Championship
Center houses the team’s coaches’ offices, locker rooms, meetings rooms and
indoor practice facilities. Nebraska is one of the few schools in the nation
with all of its soccer facilities located on campus.

Named after a former Husker defender, the Jenna Cooper Team Room includes a
flat screen, high-definition television, a conference table and a lounge area
for hosting team meetings and other gatherings. Players and coaches each have
ample space to view game or practice video, giving them a greater edge in
preparing for competition.

Nebraska’s locker rooms include a student-athlete lounge, where players can
relax between classes, meetings or practices while watching television or
surfing on wireless Internet.

The newly redesigned soccer locker room features hand-made wood units for
each player. The lockers are also customized with a name plate and action photo
of the player. The design of the locker room allows each athlete to have a
greater amount of space and personal storage, while providing a convenient
location next to the players’ lounge.

The Hawks Championship Center opened for the soccer team during the spring
of 2006. The magnificent facility features FieldTurf ideal for year-round
indoor training for the Huskers.

New Soccer Complex

On Thursday, July 18, 2013, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents
approved the program statement and budget for Nebraska Athletics to build
dedicated, on-campus soccer and tennis practice and competition facilities. The
$20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex will include one outdoor,
lighted, full-sized competition field with seating for approximately 2,500
spectators.

A 73,900-square foot support facility is also planned to serve all athletic
programs with many amenities including showers and dressing rooms, a satellite
sports medicine treatment area as well as spectator restrooms and concession
stands.

“It has been a 20-year dream to have our team play in a soccer specific
stadium on our own campus,” Head Soccer Coach John Walker
said. “The return of ‘night games,’ a closer proximity of fans
to the action and improved fan amenities will greatly enhance the game-day
experience for both players and supporters. Everyone in the soccer
program is very thankful for the support and generosity of our Administration
in making this project a reality. It’s a monumental moment for the
Nebraska Soccer program.”
